Every night, after the bedtime protests have subsided, my 6-year-old daughter picks out the books we’ll read together. “How many can we read?” she always asks. My answer will vary from two to three, though I’m usually convinced to allow more. How can I not? I love book time with Piper.
She carefully makes her selections. Some weeks we read the same books every night. Recently, I bought her It’s All About Me-Ow by Hudson Talbott. I’m pretty sure we read it for two weeks straight, and she laughed just as loud at her favorite parts each and every time.
You know you’ve hit a milestone when your child wants to read a book without pictures. We’ve just reached that point and it’s really fun to think of the possibilities. I’ve been dreaming of reading the Harry Potter books with her since she was born. Now, we’re not so far away.
